I could not disagree with you more! Boob jobs are a wonderful thing! They not only make the recipient feel good about themselves they also spread joy and happiness to many others!

I know I am always in a great mood every time I encounter a pair of surgically enhanced breasts. This truly is one of modern medicines greatest gifts to humanity.

I have long been a strong advocate of breast enhancements and I wish more people would speak favorably of them.

:spy WAIT!! What all this typing about a 'sex' change for a convicted Army PFC??? What happened to hanging from the tallest oak tree/firing squad; then being buried face down in an unmarked grave?? Talk about 'change' in the new PC military, what's next? Build a mosque there next for you know who?? Sheesh!!

Now to your question:

Also, we don't pay for active duty people to get their sex change, especially when deployed. SO why should we be required to pay for manning's treatment now he has been DISHONORABLY discharged?

I’m not sure what a “dick job” is but I’m certain that I would not be filled with the same joy and happiness as I am upon encountering a breast enhancement recipient.

As for young Bradley, why do you seem so convinced that the government is going to foot the bill for his treatments?

I’m not for it and I’m not even sure it is likely to happen.

As for breast enhancements for females, I think you should be less uptight on that issue. They really are one of modern medicines greatest gifts to humanity.

A) its elective (not required) so imo like me wanting lipo, I have to foot the bill, not big daddy govt.
B) The AF already said that gender reassignment/hormone treatment is NOT something covered
C) his ass has been dishonorably discharged. So why should he get a damn thing from uncle sam?

Why? Boobs are boobs. But that does not mean i should be ok with having someones tit job get it on my dime (Taxes) while on the same token disallowing a guy to get a dick job.
